Identification
Name:2-Acylglycerophosphocholine
Description2-acylglycerophosphocholine belongs to the class of Lysophosphatidylcholines. These are glycerophosphocholines (molecules containing a choline moiety attached to the phosphate group linked to a glycerol) in which the glycerol is attached to one saturated fatty acid each through an ester linkage. (inferred from compound structure)2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholines are a class of phospholipids that are intermediates in the metabolism of lipids. Because they result from the hydrolysis of an acyl group from the sn-1 position of phosphatidylcholine, they are also called 1-lysophosphatidylcholine (or 1-lysoPC, in short). The synthesis of phosphatidylcholines with specific fatty acids occurs through the synthesis of 1-lysoPC. The formation of various other lipids generates 1-lysoPC as a by-product. Other synonyms for this class of compounds are 2-acylglycero-3-phosphocholine, 1-lyso-2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, β-lysophosphatidylcholine, 2-acylglycerophosphocholine, L-1-lysolecithin and 1-lecithin.
